small kine exhaust valve leak

 

And special plans for the block?

 

for a stocker? nah...however if the piston was damaged...i probably would of upgraded the pistons and rings...ill probably do a killerb oil pan pickup and new oem clutch...timing belt was done 25k miles ago so ill probably change all that again...and new motor mounts as well

it sucks taking off that intake...whats the deal with securing the fuel lines and wiring under the intake with bolts....blah...

 

I've seen that before with low valve lash. Valve job should cure it since they can grind the stems to set the lash.

I have a valve compressor tool if you plan to replace the valve yourself ghetto style, but you'll still have lash issues on that valve. Better to just get a full valve job so they can cut a new seat.
Yeah removing the rails is a bizarxh.

 

wow! at least it was easy to spot! last time i saw that was on stacy's WRX!

 

sorry got a little distracted....looking at buying another fox mustang notch after losing one to a teenager...

 

The intake manifold comes off in a few minutes. Leave it all together. Remove the wiring and fuel lines with it.

once the intercooler, intake, expansion tank, and washer bottler are removed...

coil connectors
pass side bulk connector and little ground
two coolant lines on throttle body
PCV hose
knock sensor connector
Brake booster hose
fuel lines
cam pos sensor
2 bulk connectors by battery
coolant temp sensor connector
oil pressure switch
crankshaft pos sensor
little power steering connector

Then take out the 8 long bolts that go through the TGV bodies

It all lifts right out.


oh wait. you have an 06. There's a couple more steps, but same thing works

 

does anyone know where these two lines go....
looks like part of the evap system...bottom looks like a vacuum for the fuel system...top is a vacuum....just dont remember the two apart when i took it apart....i am assuming i lost a line connecting the two together....

 

fuel pressure regulator!! hook those two up with a hose as soon as you can!! that line is common for popping off on the dyno causing a sudden lean condition and possible boom =( the original hose us u-shaped and gets hard and brittle with age

 

thanks junior....havent started the rebuild yet...but did notice it...

 

im glad i tried to rotate the motor after reinstalling the motor with the new clutch....damn stupid inspection plate cover....
